Here, you shall embark on a journey. A journey riddled with challenges and difficulties. You shall be tested. Tested to the very limit of your mind and body. Not all overcome the challenges and the test, but those few, those select, special few that do, can become: A True Ninja!

To become a true Ninja, one must master the three most important principles of a ninja: Wisdom, Might and Courage. To represent this, the Nine Gym Leaders and 3 Elites of The Ninja Leauge are divided into three divisions, representing the principles. A challenger may choose to challenge the divisions in any order, but once you have selected your division, you may not move on until you have conqured it. You may challenge the 3 Gym Leaders of a Division in any order, but you must challenge the Elite last.

Rules

All Sppf battling rules apply
If you lose to a gym leader, you must wait 2 days before challenging again
If you lose to an Elite, you must wait 4 days before challenging again
If you lose to The Champion (when there is one) you must wait 7 days before re-challenging.
You MUST have Pokemon Online to challenge the leauge, however some, but not all, Gym Leaders may battle via wi-fi if they so choose
Gym Leaders and Elites use a 3:3 Monotype, meaning they use three of their chosen type, and three wildcards.
The following clauses should be in effect in all matches: Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, Species Clause
Be respectful to your opponent
No revealing a GL/Elite's Team!
No Ubers
No Counter Teaming! No more than 3 pokemon on your team may have a type advantage over the GL/Elite's type, and no more than 5 pokemon may have a super effective move. This leauge also uses the OSL Counter-Teaming rule: so if your pokemon's set is only viable against that Gym Leader/Elite, you will be disqualified. A common example is, when facing a Grass GL/Elite, using a Poison Type move such as Sludge Bomb, which are almost never used in the standard metagame
Disobeying the Rules will earn you a strike. Get three of these, and you will be permanatly banned (Strikes expire after 2 weeks). Obedience is another quality a ninja must have

A note about Hax

If a Gym Leader feels that you have won the match due to hax and hax alone, then he is entirely within his/her right to refuse the badge or ask for a rematch. Similarly, you may ask for a rematch if you believe that you would have won, had there not been as much hax. The GL/Elite makes the call on both occasions. If you have any real problems, contact me, preferably with a Battle Log saved.

The Divisions

http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8033/ndb.png

Mind over Matter. Knowledge is Power. Those who choose to disregard those statements have no chance of becoming a True Ninja. To become a True Ninja, you must learn to master your mind, as well as your body. To do this: You must conquer the Wisdom Division!

The Gym Leaders and Elites in this Division use cunning tactics and exploit the opponent's weaknesses, rather than rely on power to win the Day.

Might. While at first it seems obvious and unsubtle, Might can prove to be useful in more than one way. Might is not just about phsyical stregnth but also about determination and relentlessness. To become a True Ninja and conquer the Might Division, you must learn the true meaning of Might!

The Gym Leaders and Elite in this division use powerful attacking force, or strong impentrable defense or even a fiendish combination of both, to defeat their opponents.

A Ninja who is both wise and mighty, but is afraid to put these qualities into effect, is as useless as a Ninja who has not been trained at all. With Courage, a Ninja can use his skills without fear and face the thoughest of enemies as if he were a mere child. You must learn to do the same if you are to conquer to the Courage Divison.

The Gym Leaders and Elite in this Division use all-or-nothing tactics, that will leave either them or their opponent weak and defenseless. They are not afraid to take risks, if it will mean a higher gain. For them, a lower gain is as good as no gain at all.

Ying, Yang. Good, Evil. Black, White. Body, Mind. All polar opposites, yet one cannot exist without the other. It is this fundamental principle that has been so important to the Ninjas since the dawn of time. All records of this significance have been lost, but the tradition carries on. The Final Test for a Ninja, is to learn of this principle, and to do that he must defeat the Final Elites.

Final Elites Rules

The Final Elites do not use a specific type, so can use any pokemon they wish (providing it is not banned or uber)
You can challenge the Final Elites in any order, but you must defeat both without losing so if you lose to one you must start again
If you lose to a Final Elite, you must wait 6 days before re-challenging
Except for the exceptions listed above the Final Elites work just like other GL/Elites

So, challenger, you have read about the challenges that face you. Now all that remains is to begin your journey, and show your achievements.

Forms

To sign up as a challenger:

Challenger Application Form

Forum Name:
PO Name:
Which division would you like to challenge first?:

In the spoiler below, all of our challengers are listed, along with the badges/symbols they have achieved.

Below is the application form for a Gym Leader/Elite. When you have filled in the form, please arrange a test battle on PO with either me, or Psycho Cut, by PM/VM'ing us. We will take as many test battles as we can be bothered. The two people who we think are best will be the Final Elites, the next best two will fill the remaining Elite spots... You get the idea. Please bear in mind that there should be no duplicate GL/Elite types. So you may be asked to change type if we feel you are a good enough battler, but there is a better candidate for your type.

If you are chosen as a GL/Elite, you will be PM'd informing you of this and you'll also be required to fill out a more detailed form.

I think you'll probably need to wait until there are 3 leaders and an Elite for each division. At least, that way you won't be locked into Courage if another one fills completely first.

Btw, Psycho's position will not be changed. Also, I created this leauge out of my own ninja-obsessed imagination. I did not copy anything from the T3 leauge, I wasn't even aware it existed, so it can't be that good anyway.

That is true, Barbeller, but I think you'll agree that my playing that day was simply awful XD I gave up after about 6 moves and practically let you have the badge.

Anyway, @ AoK and Soperman: You'll have to fight it out for the position as water gym leader!

And, same goes to all GLs, you have to be tested first. I'll be on PO soon for tests.

Before I get tested for the psychic leader spot... Do we have 3:3 monos or true monos as gym leaders? Because I have a true monotype Psychic team. Won't be on PO today though...

That's not a bad idea, Orbrunner. I'll consider it.

On another note, the name I came up with, "Arceus Badge", sounds really lame... Just imo.

True Ninja Symbol?

Arceus Symbol?

And we need an Elite for the Might division.

hey i don't know what the league's policy for this is but I may not be able to do as many gym battles (not that I've been receiving much lately) since i have a research essay to work on that may keep me away from here. If there are requests PM me and I will reply as best I can. the essay shouldn't be too tough so i'll be back soon ;)

Ok, Guitarzanbullets got the Rock GL job, and he's certainly a might GL. So I might put either Pimm or Orbrunner up to might elite. I'll keep you all posted on that.

Also, I want to avoid this leauge becoming 'The Battling Academy' leauge, I think Psycho has his own plans for that. Or he might not. But yeah, I'm not the one to make that leauge. SO... I'm not going to accept GL/Elite applictions from any more members of the BA. Sorry!

Finally, I'm on PO for testing.

OrbrunnerX

3rd October 2011, 8:40 PM

Sorry, rules are rules!

I asked because I never saw it stated anywhere that you were locked into one division. I figured we were, but didn't see anything that said we were or weren't.
Ah well.

I might put either Pimm or Orbrunner up to might elite. I'll keep you all posted on that.

I'd be willing to take it if you need me to.
Also, I have this odd feeling that Pimm's Ground team is a sandstorm one... but that's just speculation based on the fact the his badge resembles a Tyranitar and the Sahara Desert (namesake of his badge) is full of sand. That has nothing to do with anything, except that I don't like autoweather.

I might have to do a test between you guys. Either that or just go off PO ratings or something.

My PO rating is always unreliable. I haven't laddered for weeks, and I've just used FindBattle to test teams out. Most of which failed.
If it matters this way, I utterly failed my Gym battle against him.

You need a trainer vs trainer thing, Pimm.

And I would put Pimm to elite, and let G+B take the might slot. But it's up to ND, and who knows how his ninja-y mind works... ;)

Put the badge in your sig if you have room. That's what I did. (until I proceeded to run out of room and just wrote the names of the badges there)

I don't think there's any rule against multichallenges. You could theoretically sweep the entire league in a day (if you were REALLY good and REALLY lucky).

hey, how do i fight myself? just wondering because im a might division challenger and a might division GL... also i think you should put a rule for no hax items(quick claw etc.) and some other limitations such as clear air (90% thts not what its called) where no weather effects. just suggeting b/c in my first battle w/orbrunner i had quick claw t-tar. i just think that challengers should have a warning before the battle thats all :) and very good game orbrunner :) rematch in 2 days :I

You already own your own badge.

Also, I don't know about anyone else, but all my Gym battles (challengers going for my badge) will be under Clear Skies.
Read: Wifi OU without Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream or Snow Warning.

While it's legal under PO tiering rules, I think it should be illegal here, if only because it can change an entire game due to pure hax. Which is, as I recall, reason to refuse someone a badge.
Besides, Lum Berries are infinitely better than hax items. They always work, and they're much more annoying.

Most people don't use a Quick Claw anyways. But are you suggesting we ban Lum Berries?

Lack of lum berries just encourages hax... and we all know how ****ing annoying paraflinch is -.- Hax items rely on pure luck to activate, whereas like you said, Lum always works, therefore it is not a hax item... besides Lum users are easy to spot, DDNite and Haxorus are the only common users, so it cant be THAT annoying. Therefore there is nothing wrong with Lum Berries, there easy to spot, ignore/take advantage of, and do not make a huge difference in the game that wasnt the players own choice... e.g. winning by crit is unfair, as the player did not intend for it to occur, whereas a Lum berry was decided, risking the loss of leftovers recovery, or choice item boost, etc etc. Oh any most non-hax items are infinately better than hax items... not just lum.

Seriously? Clear skies? I don't use weather... EVER, but as a gym leader you shouldnt be removing the one thing that makes Gen 5's OU Metagame what it is... that just isnt right imo...

Oh and when will there be more courage leaders? -.-

Edit: Oh also I should be on 2 badges, not 1

Actually, I'm suggesting we use Lum Berries instead of any random-chance-activation items. They're more clutch, and less haxy.
I am suggesting this not because I dislike Quick Claw et alia (heck, I once ran a 6 QC-er team), but because it is within GL rights to refuse a badge due to hax. And minimizing the chances of that happening would be good.

Every Gym has a gimmick; whether it be shooting you around in cannons or sliding across the floor. Clear Skies is mine.
Keep in mind that I don't have anything against Rain Dance / Sunny Day / whatever teams. Those are, if anything, encouraged.

@ Orbrunner: Yeah, listen to Psycho, he is evidently a rather clever chap. Either that or he has the keen instinct of a lion that has just had some instinct pie. In other words, you can't have a clear skies gym, sorry.
